DAY 1:
The Straw Hat pirates were nearing an island in East Blue. They'd just picked up the newest member of their crew and a new ship to take them to the Grand Line.
"Straight ahead Merry!" Luffy yelled. The pirate in the straw hat pointed towards the island covered in greenery. He was sitting on the lamb figurehead's head, his self-designated seat.
Usopp ran up to the bow and stared off with an amazed look in his eyes. It was the first island he'd ever been to outside of his own and it looked amazing. "Wow! It's covered in jungle!"
Nami put the compass away since it looked like this was their new destination. Luffy started running around excitedly with Usopp in celebration of reaching a new island and the captain accidentally kicked a napping Zoro. She started cracking up as the swordsman stood up and chased the other two boys around. "What did I do?!" Usopp screamed as he was being chased too for some reason.
The orange haired navigator couldn't remember a time when she'd had more fun. Probably before Arlong... Her smile and laughs disappeared and she clenched her left upper arm covered by her t-shirt sleeve. Underneath was the tattoo that reminded her of her mission. I should just take the treasure and leave already.
Though she thought it every day, she couldn't bring herself to leave this crew just yet. They were so much fun to be around. "Alright boys! Pull in the ropes and head to starboard, we'll go to shore right... over... there." The woman pointing to shore slowly dropped her arm to her side and stared in horror ahead at the island.
All three of the men on the ship looked at her funny. Luffy and Usopp started waving their arms in front of her to see if she would react, but Zoro followed her gaze back to the sky above the island, and his jaw dropped as well. Sweat started dripping down the sides of his face and he muttered, "What the Hell is that thing?"
"Huh?" Usopp turned around first and his legs started shaking as he saw the enormous metal bird flying through the sky and making lots of noise. "Eeeaaahhh!" He shouted in fear as he stared at the beast.
"Whoa!" Luffy stared at it in amazement as he turned around too. "I've never seen one of those before! What is it Nami?" He asked.
"How the Hell should I know?!" She shouted back at him. All four of them were staring straight up, unable to look anywhere else but the loud metal bird.
The water around them suddenly started to ripple and the crew started looking around. The island itself was shaking like crazy as if an earthquake was hitting it. Usopp fell to the railing and used it to sturdy himself as he looked back up at the strange thing above the island flying closer to the side they were on. Luffy looked out at the island and felt a pit form in his stomach.
Usopp saw the thing shudder and shake in the air, "Hey guys," he started nervously while they watched in awe. A small trail of black smoke was now following the flying object. "Does it look like something's wrong with-" his voice was caught in his throat with a small yelp as all four of them dropped their jaws further.
All of a sudden the thing ripped in half. The tail went one way while the front section, which was much larger, dropped down near a ripped off wing and lots of other wreckage. "It, broke," Nami whispered and then she saw something coming out of the air from the small explosion.
The shaking of the island was starting to calm down, but a huge shard of metal flew past the side of the ship and made the whole thing rock to the left with the splash. "Ahh!" Usopp tumbled across the deck while Nami grabbed onto the wall tightly. She lost her grip and started to fall, but Zoro grabbed her and sturdied her with one hand while he grabbed the railing with the other.
"Th-Thanks," Nami mumbled as she held on for dear life. Another chunk of metal was falling towards them and slammed into the back left of the ship near where Usopp had rolled.
The long nosed pirate screamed in fear and scampered back towards the others as a chunk was ripped off of their ship a foot away from him. Luffy was holding on tight and staring straight at the huge front section of the flying thing he found so cool. He thought he heard something that didn't sound like part of an explosion, it sounded like a person's scream, but that couldn't be right.
Something blue was falling towards them fast and right before it hit the water, all four pirates got a good look at the person sitting on the soft chair. Their eyes bugged as they saw the bloodied figure strapped into the chair before it hit the water and ripped apart.
"Holy shit," Zoro shouted and they snapped their heads back to the falling piece of what had to be some sort of airship. The tail of it fell to the other side of the island, but the largest part was falling right towards the sandy shore they were heading for themselves.
It was halfway from where it ripped, to the ground, and falling fast. Nami didn't know what was happening, but she realized there were people inside that thing and they needed help. The woman started shouting out directions and the men started pulling the ropes while Usopp steered in the right direction.
No one argued about going to shore with the floating body on the side of their ship. Usopp was trembling as he pulled the rudder, but he still thought, How many people are on that thing? I hope there are some survivors.
Luffy tied the rope down and stared out at the quickly approaching shore. "What is this place?" He asked and Nami was the only one who heard the odd question. "It feels, strange," he clenched his fists and looked up where the plane had almost hit the ground.
"It's going to hit before we get there," Zoro mentioned as he walked back to the other two. "What do you think it is? I've never heard of something like it."
"It's a ship," Usopp proclaimed as he ran out of the cabin and stared at it. "I once knew a master builder who could make a hundred of them in a day!" Luffy was amazed but both teenagers froze and stared in shock as the wreckage shifted.
"What?!" Nami exclaimed and stared at the rubble as it moved in midair. It had been falling in a way that it would have slammed down into the ground hard, but suddenly it tilted and when it hit the ground, the landing looked pretty soft.
What's going on here? Zoro watched the connected wing of it tilt up as the body skid across the sand. People were falling out of the air but they also seemed to hit the ground softly instead of as hard as they should have been falling. Their ship was almost at shore now, but when the main body of the plane hit the ground, it shot out some rubble in their direction. The swordsman frowned as he noticed something, The shards are only flying this way. It's too much to be coincidence.
He pulled out his swords and ran to the front of the ship, jumping up and trying to cut one of the pieces of debris flying fast at their ship. Nami and Usopp couldn't see him move he was so fast as he leapt up and swung two of his swords at the metal shard. Zoro pushed against it hard, but the shard was moving too fast, and he couldn't cut steel. It broke one of his blades and he barely moved the other back in time to keep it from getting destroyed too.
"Tssk," he dropped the hilt of the broken blade and gazed at the second one that had a chip on it where the metal piece hit. Suddenly the boat shook as more shards hit it in the hull.
"Is everyone alright?!" Nami called out and looked around to see the boys all doing fine as the ship shuddered. "We're taking too much damage! Usopp, go check below deck!"
The liar with a slingshot shouted, "Yosh!" and ran inside the cabin. Meanwhile, the other three stared at shore and finally heard something that made their hearts lurch. Screaming.
The bloodcurdling screams were horrifying and they watched as people were picking themselves off the beach and running around hysterically. A small explosion blasted two people into the water where they bounced past the Going Merry and into deep water. A chunk of burning steel from that explosion also just happened to fly their direction and hit the left side of the ship, slashing a huge gash from bow to stern.
Usopp was below deck trying to close up two holes, when the gash appeared and water started flooding in. The crew above him heard his screams and Zoro jumped into action, diving off the side of the ship and into the crack below, as it was faster than going through the cabin.
The green haired swordsman saw their friend getting slammed on the opposite wall by the mass of water that pulled him into the ship. "Zor- gurgle," Usopp swallowed a bucket of water as he tried to shout and the salt water choked him.
"Baka!" Zoro grabbed him with one arm and tried swimming back the other way. The water force flooding into the ship was too strong though with both arms occupied, so he turned and slashed at the wood of the far wall they were up against. The water rushed in fast and ripped the broken sword from Zoro's hand. He tried reaching for it but it was washed away in the chaos of the inside of the ship as the two men were lifted towards the ceiling.
"St-gurgle, breaki-gurgle, Kaya's sh-gurgle,' Usopp tried speaking though his lungs were filling with water. His friend gave them this ship, and they were already breaking it.
"Sorry Usopp," Zoro kicked the wall he slashed and broke a larger hole in the hull for them to swim out of. He dunked his head underwater and dragged Usopp out of there as water continued to flood in from multiple sides.
While Zoro was in the ship, Nami and Luffy continued to watch events on shore. Their ship had slowed down with the water filling it, but they were so close now. The ship was starting to tilt backwards as it moved and they noticed they were going down. A piece of debris flew and ripped the sail horizontally, halting their movement in the water. Still, both navigator and captain were staring at the shore in shock.
More and more people were pulling themselves and others from the body of the plane, but everything seemed so strange. All these people just fell out of the sky very far, yet so many of them didn't seem injured at all. Some people were running out of the trees or digging themselves out of the sand, which meant they fell out of the sky and were perfectly fine with walking.
Luffy thought they might have just all been really strong, but he watched as it took several men to move one small piece of wreckage to get another out from beneath.
A loud crack shook the two from their thoughts and they spun to see a fissure in the middle of the deck. There was a huge hole in the back, and they were tilting backwards, but this crack was by far the worst damage so far. The front of the ship actually stopped tilting back and started falling forward as the crack enlarged. "Merry!" Luffy shouted.
"Ahhhhh!" A high pitched girl's scream echoed across the beach and Luffy spun to see a tall blonde girl screaming at the top of her lungs with flaming wreckage all around her.
"WALT! Walt, where are you?!" A black man with curly hair cupped his mouth and was shouting for his son.
Zoro and Usopp popped out of the water and turned back to see the boat splitting in half. "No," Usopp whispered, letting out a gasp. Zoro had punched his nakama in the chest to get out the water, and now they stared as their ship started sinking.
"Luffy, we have to go!" Nami yelled back at the captain on the ship.
Luffy looked around as pieces of his ship were falling apart. He didn't want to leave this awesome ship, but it was clearly too late. He looked at the lamb figurehead sadly one last time and then nodded.
Before either of them could say another word, one of the two large round things that kept making loud noises exploded in a huge ball of fire. Flames shot out everywhere and a ball of fire slammed into the ship, sending Nami flying up in the air as Luffy spun out and crashed in the water.
A/N Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this crossover, as it was pretty fun to write, and so were the next few action-packed chapters! I made the rating M because of the amount of death and violence, and how far I'm going to go into it... Leave a review telling me what you think!
